Drug Uses
Aldactone is in a class of medications called potassium sparing diuretics (water pill). It reduces the amount of fluid in the body without causing the loss of potassium. Aldactone is used for handling edema (swelling) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Aldactone is also used to treat potassium deficiency and hyperaldosteronism (a hormonal disorder).
How Taken
Aldactone comes as a tablet to take orally. The normal dose is a pill a day, taken in the morning with food intake or taken two times a day with breakfast and lunch. This medicine does not cure, it only controls blood pressure levels, consequently, continue taking Aldactone even if you feel better. Do not stop taking Aldactone without your physician`s advice.
Additional Information
Aldactone can also be used in combination with other medicines for treatment of precocious puberty or myasthenia gravis. Aldactone may also be used for treatment of female patients with abnormal facial hair. Advice your doctor about the possible risks of using this medicine for your situation.
